Mid Level Attorney Jobs

Data Breach Attorney

Location: New York, NY
Work Arrangement: On-site, Full-time

The Opportunity:

Levi & Korsinsky is expanding its consumer practice, a high-impact team at the forefront of modern law, with a growing focus on data breach, privacy, and technology-driven consumer litigation. We are seeking an attorney with direct data breach litigation experience who can help drive complex consumer class actions in this rapidly evolving area. We are not just another plaintiffs' firm; we are a litigation engine built for the digital age. We use proprietary technology and data to litigate complex class actions involving data breaches, consumer privacy violations, and other emerging consumer protection claims, pioneering new legal frameworks to hold corporations accountable. This is an opportunity to join a winning, tech-driven culture. You will take ownership of cases that shape consumer privacy and data breach law, work with a high degree of autonomy, and in some cases manage others. Your responsibility will be significant from day one, and you will be expected to help mentor junior attorneys. We are looking for smart, hard-working attorneys that want to grow and truly take pride in their work.

What You’ll Do

- Lead discrete matters within larger consumer class action and data breach portfolios, managing deadlines, filings, and case progression independently.
- Draft and argue substantive motions with supervision; contribute to discovery strategy, deposition preparation, and factual development in complex data breach and privacy litigation.
- Interface directly with clients, co-counsel, and defense counsel, with professionalism and clarity.
- Oversee small teams of junior attorneys or analysts to maintain accuracy, efficiency, and compliance across filings.
- Shape case strategy by identifying emerging trends in consumer privacy, cybersecurity, and data breach law and contributing creative legal theories involving unauthorized data exposure, privacy violations, and technology-driven consumer claims.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with legal ops and tech teams to streamline workflows and leverage LK’s proprietary litigation systems.
- Drive quality and accountability: maintain sub-5% revision rates and ensure deadlines are consistently met.

What You Bring

- J.D. from an accredited law school; admitted and in good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.
- 5–7 years of litigation experience (plaintiff-side, defense, or regulatory), with direct experience handling data breach litigation strongly preferred.
- Demonstrated experience with data breach, privacy, cybersecurity, or related consumer class action matters, including familiarity with the legal and factual issues that arise from unauthorized access, exposure, or misuse of consumer data.
- Proven ability to manage matters independently from initial investigation through motion practice and discovery.
- Exceptional legal writing and analytical skills with minimal need for substantive revision.
- Confidence in oral advocacy — capable of arguing motions or managing depositions under limited supervision.
- Strong organizational discipline and comfort managing multiple active dockets simultaneously.
- Ability to mentor junior attorneys and staff, setting standards of precision and judgment.
- Comfort working with or adapting to tech-enabled litigation systems; familiarity with e-discovery, large-scale document review, data analytics, cybersecurity issues, or automation tools is a plus.
